Chapter 208. Be a simple athlete
In the Hilton Hotel, Wu Dong watched with a smile as Director Du was messing around on TV.
Even the room was left for Wu Dong, and Director Du lied and didn't even blush.
……
In the 200-meter race of this series, Director Du advocated not allowing Wu Dong to participate, and Coach Lu said that he also forced Vice Chairman Sun of the National Athletics Association for this.
His reasoning is simple, according to the rules: within 12 months before the registration deadline, registered athletes must achieve at least one Category 1 or above score in the registered event, and at least two Tier 1 or 1 athlete results in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th races within 12 months before the registration deadline.
And Wu Dong, there is no result in the 200 meters, at least there is no official competition result.
If you don't have a grade, you can't sign up.
If Wu Dong is really 25 years old and has not been reborn, maybe he will really think that the future vice president of the Chinese Football Association is a good person.
Each sports association has a mobile quota, and the appendix of the regulations says that each unit can use a maximum of 3 mobile quotas to directly participate in the 3rd and 4th Grand Prix series.
The mobile quota is generally given to young players who have no results, and newcomers can see the world, and it is no problem for Wu Dong.
But then he began to pull the registration deadline again, Wu Dong can't affect the growth of young people, Wu Dong can't break the rules, etc.
……
This is the time when Wu Dong listened to Coach Zhou and they chatted there.
Everyone is joking.
Chinese, over 25 years old, know that Wu Dong's participation is inevitable, that is, even changing the rules overnight has to let Wu Dong participate. Special affairs, why can't the green light be turned on for the Olympics?
Without Coach Lu's explanation, Wu Dong, an outsider in the track and field world, can see it clearly.
It's obvious, Director Du, he's not from Vice Chairman Sun's faction.
He also knew that he couldn't stop Wu Dong from competing, and he just wanted to use this to show his character and principles...... To put it bluntly, it's pretending to be forced...... Vice Chairman Du of the Chinese Football Association in the future, said that he was principled and had a bottom line, and Wu Dong would definitely not believe it.
——
Turning off the TV, Wu Dong flipped through the order book in his hand.
The fourth leg of the 2004 National Athletics Grand Prix Series will be held on July 17~18, with 45 events in two days, and there are no events that need to leave the stadium, and the schedule is very tight.
The 100m is the preliminaries at 8:35 a.m. on the 17th, the semi-finals at 18:30, and the finals at 20:15;
The 200m is the preliminaries at 9:05 a.m. on the 18th, the semi-finals at 18:00, and the finals at 20:00;
Many of the field competitions and competitions are at the same time, Wu Dong also took a special look at the men's 110-meter hurdles, and the preliminaries started at 8:35 in the morning on the 18th, and it is estimated that he can still see Liu Xiang when he warms up.
Liu Xiang has already run out, but he is not so well-known as the Olympic gold medal.
It was this Olympic Games, Liu Xiang still took economy class when he went, and when he came back, he took first class, and he was ranked first when he got off the plane.
……
Wu Dong went to bed early, and he has to be serious in tomorrow's game.
After reading the news, many reporters had already arrived at Yenching Sports University in the middle of the night, hiding near the athlete's apartment to squat at him.
Others set up cameras on the top floor of residential buildings near their apartments, and they were going to take another shot of Mr. Wu's morning exercises......
——
Saturday, July 17, 2004, 7 a.m., Yenching Sports University.
A minibus slowly drove into Yenching Sports University, with colorful flags fluttering along the way, and volunteers and signboards everywhere.
Universities are the best at this, and a few conduct points can recruit a large number of volunteers.
……
In the 2004 National Athletics Grand Prix Series, white letters on a red background were horizontal at the entrance of the stadium.
Wu Dong got out of the car and the group walked to the stadium, where reporters, cameramen and volunteers captured them at the same time......
Wu Dong's itinerary will naturally not be announced to the public, and in order to avoid being disturbed, they also gave up the RV and replaced it with a minibus.
Everyone thought that Wu Dong would stay at the training center of the national track and field team last night.
At the entrance, carrying cameras and microphones, there are a group of intern reporters who are here to shoot panoramas and interview the audience.
"Hey, hey, Brother Li, Brother Li, Wu Dong, Wu Dong appeared at the north gate, and he came from outside in a middle bus...... Come on......
"Ahh
"Damn, it's really Wu Dong! How did he come from outside? ”
……
"Quick! It's Wu Dong. ”
"Damn, it's really Wu Dong, why did he come in from the outside."
Every journalist has such a question.
"Big news, this is big news, Wu Dong didn't enter the training center!"
"Hahaha, luck!"
A reporter hurriedly contacted a colleague who was still on the other side, "Wu Dong entered the venue from the north gate!" Hurry up, get to the entrance and block him! ”
"Wu Dong is here, he came by bus from the north gate, and I am chasing him."
"Damn, wasn't his first game half past eight, why did he come so early."
"What nonsense, hurry up and ......"
Hula, a crowd of people gathered around.
……
"Ahh Wu Dongyi~~~"
"Ah, it's really Wu Dong!"
"Hurry up, go and guide them in"
"Brush!" A volunteer teleported to Wu Dong.
"Please come this way with me, and I'll take you to the rest area."
There is a security check at the entrance, and spectators can present tickets and reporters and staff can present work badges.
Wu Dong can rely on his face!
Reporters are catching up!
"Wu Dong, why didn't you join the track and field training team?"
"Wu Dong, do you have any expectations for these two games?"
"Wu Dong, I'm a reporter from Yanjing Sports News, let's say a few words to the audience readers!"
"Wu Dong ......"
"Wu Dong ......"
Walk you!
Zhang Qianjian's ass swayed from side to side, knocking the reporters who rushed up to the ground.
Coach Lu turned around, "Don't crowd, don't crowd, Wu Dong's schedule is very tight, please give him a quiet space......"
Wu Guoping, oops, I'm squeezing, I'm squeezing, I'm squeezing, I can't get you reporters as a person who practices sports.
Wu Dong's team only came to seven people this time, Coach Lu, Coach Wu, Coach Zhou, Coach Qi, Coach Zhang, physiotherapists, and nutritionists.
Coach Lu is the general director, Coach Wu is responsible for the warm-up, Coach Zhou is responsible for the basic movements, Coach Qi is responsible for the start and sprint, Coach Zhang does everything, porter, driver, timer, analyst......
Wu Dong didn't look back, he didn't want to be distracted by anything today.
……
Fame and fortune, money and beauty are all put aside first, Wu Dong wants to be a simple athlete.
……
Entering the rest area, changing clothes, warming up, massage, it's not the first time Wu Dong is familiar with the whole process, and from here on, the coach, team doctor, and nutritionist will be separated from him.
The check-in, the lounge, the racetrack, the podium, that's probably the way it is.
"I've put everything in your bag for you, our location is in the first row of the South Stand, and we'll leave the athletes' tunnel after you finish your first shot......"
Wu Dong smiled and followed the guide to the check-in office.
Come on in August
